Do not get password after installation

  • I have tried this numerous times. I install wordpress & the when I go to step 2 of the installation the page displays only the first 3 lines. I never get the password. When I look through the database tables everything has been created along with my username. I update the table with a new password & it will never let me login.

    Appreciate your help in this matter. I am trying the latest wordpress 2 version with mysql

  • Did you delete you sql table and try to install WP again? Are you sure the data on the file wp-config.php are correct?
    If you have problem during installation, you have 70% chance that something went wrong during the FTP upload of php files to your server. Try to upload it again. Something may be corrupted.

    Are you hosting it on a local machine? Or are you using a pay hosting service? The necessary bits for emailing could possibly not be available on a local webserver.

    As far as the password. IIRC, it’s encrypted. So unless you put in an encrypted password, your override won’t work. Since you can access your database tables, find the password field and put this in “5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99” (not the quotes of course). It’s an encrypted form of “password”. That should let you in, where you can change the password to something more secure.

    btw, this is an online md5 tool, if you want to make other passwords: https://www.allhype.co.uk/tools/md5/
